The Gamate,[2] known as 超級小子 (pinyin: chāojí xiǎozi, literally "Super Boy") in Taiwan and 超级神童 (pinyin: chāojí shéntóng, literally "Super Child Prodigy") in China, is a handheld game console manufactured by Bit Corporation in the early 1990s, and released in Australia, some parts of Europe, Asia (Taiwan and China[3]), Argentina, and the United States.

The only emulator that supports it is MAME, with games also playable on a MiSTer. Over 70 games, not all dumped, are known to have been produced for the system.
